I'm leaving Dresden and this was my last day there. In the morning, I gave the keys to my appartment to a friendly neighbor who will meet the landlord at the end of the month, then I got into my rather crammed car and started towards the west. Shortly before reaching the Autobahn, I realized that with all the stuff to do, I hadn't checked the day's coordinates. So I stopped and looked them up. Wow, there is a spot very near to the Autobahn, easily reachable! I continued on my way and used the Autobahn until I was at Chemnitz. There, instead of continuing on the A4, I changed to the A72 towards Leipzig, but took the next exit at Chemnitz-Röhrsdorf. A short time later, I was near the spot, with lots of electricity lines from the voltage transformation station in front of me. I parked the car and walked the last few dozens of meters before starting a hashdance in front of a driveway. The spot was next to a bush and I took some pictures.
I had seen a sign "farm shop" pointing towards the farm house opposite the spot, so I went there. It was closed though. Instead I went to the chicken coop near the street and took some pictures. While I was returning to the car, somebody from the farm came to me and asked what I was doing and why I was taking pictures. I started to explain about a game with random locations, but he interrupted me and told me that I wasn't allowed to be there, because this were private property. My objection that there were no signs saying so and this was a public street leading to the voltage transformation station was also interrupted and he started to rant about people taking pictures and so on. I think he suspected me of criminal intentions. So I just said I was sorry and left. I'm glad that the farm shop had been closed, because I don't want to support such unfriendly people.
A bit further down the street I stopped again and looked up the next coordinates, because I knew that the Autobahn would lead almost straight west. And indeed, the next graticule would also have an interesting spot near the Autobahn! I used a small road to go back to the A4 and continued on my way to 50 11
